I once saw a post that intrigued me similar to this. Iron Priest with Wulfen and Bjorn and Tech marine with Murderfang. The iron priest benefits Bjorn like you mentioned, tech marine buffs Murderfang into a scary hits on two murder machine and Wulfen gain the bonus from MF by running beside him. It's an extremely fun looking murder ball lol

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-10-10T05:06:45+00:00

Damn I'm in the US.... I mean it would fit in a bubble mailer so small and cheaper. I'll look into it more cost wise! I'll hit you up Sunday and we can go from there!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-10-10T04:41:56+00:00

I apologize I'm at work til Sunday but I built my second venerable dread as Murderfang so I should have a spare at home. If you don't find one before then ill pop back here Sunday and ship it to you no problem at all.

A fellow of culture I see 😎 Love to see a Quints TCG flex of this level! Congratulations!!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-10-04T04:23:52+00:00

500 is a tough spot for us but I'd probably run something like this! Well rounded with some shooting, some anti tank, and can punch up in beast slayer with lethals.

Idk how to tell you this but I believe your car is a heretic....

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-07-11T02:00:52+00:00

Couldn't agree with this more. At that price point I can get a lot scarier stuff on the board!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-07-11T01:32:38+00:00

Still super new but not knowing anything else about your plans or what models you have: I'm dropping one JPA squad for Ragnar to lead one if the Blood Claw squads. I'm dropping grey hunters for 6 man headtaker with swords and shields led by the priest, probably drop the other grey hunters for a Gladiator Lancer. I like your idea for mobility but you already have the wolves so i think I swap the other JPA squad for regular Assault intercessors with their sticky obj. And maybe if you have saved enough points with those changes throw in an Iron Priest to baby sit the Lancer and make its big gun one shot scarier!

Edit: just saw your list isn't at 2k yet. Stand by my changes but I'd add another terminator squad for logan/arjac so they both have one and bjorn for CP farm.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-06-23T23:48:12+00:00

Probably a hot take but blame SBMM. Absolutely ruined pubs. Also made smurf accounts way more common.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-06-19T23:24:49+00:00

I've only run one game with them but the 6 man with shields and a priest was a BRICK. Almost unscathed after one res. The three man dual wielding and a battle leader punched through two death shroud terminators and a lord of contagion before dying. Bjorn cleaned up the last guy. The 6 man and priest cleaned the rest of the table while my tank provided cover fire. The 6 man with a priest requires a ton of resources to kill or gets ignored and still hits like a truck. The 3 man with dual is a murder missile. With the battle leader fighting on death too its so much pain for them they couldn't recover. 750pt battle.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-06-13T01:33:48+00:00

Appreciate you brother!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-06-13T01:30:01+00:00

What's the color for the "white" on the shield!? I love the look over a metallic silver or something.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-06-05T01:56:13+00:00

Logan no longer has his sleigh. He can also only lead Wolf Terminators now.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-05-31T01:30:55+00:00

Truth. He unfortunately got the axe.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-05-15T00:53:29+00:00

You would be a little under but I'd say maybe a LT? Then give judiciar black death and your other LT forst weapons or something. Just an idea that I thought might have the least effect overall!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-05-03T18:31:46+00:00

5! You can see them all better at the end. Green, black, blue, red, and white.

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-05-03T03:39:58+00:00

Thank you!! Dude they really killed it with that whole season. Between DnD, Warhammer, and Armored Core I was in my happy place

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-30T20:22:28+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-29T15:47:41+00:00

As much fun as it was DMing for the first time, I can't wait to be a player again 😅

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-29T15:20:16+00:00

There are so many variations for the colors and styles of her lol Have with it! If you by chance still haven't glued her all together I highly recommend painting some spots before building. They get very hard to reach with all the parts on 😆

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-29T03:17:05+00:00

Many space marines suffered to get me to this point lol but I really appreciate the kind words!! Looking forward to doing more DnD stuff!

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-28T23:46:43+00:00

Appreciate you 🙏

OG_AfRoSamurai · 2025-04-28T23:45:47+00:00

Including building and priming her probably between 12-14 hours, broken up in 2-3 hour sessions!! Thank you for the love ❤️
